Let me ask for a bit more of your experience here if I may. If the 9
foot rod is "generally" more advantageous, when do you think it might
not be advantageous?


Hey, Charles, I'll be happy to send you a 9 pc 9 ft
to play around with, if you can get it back to me
by early June.


That's an interesting offer Greg. I'm trying to imagine a collection
of ferules with little chunks of rod between. On the one hand it
sounds silly, but on the other hand, having 8 ferules spreads the
weight evenly through the rod, and might feel more like a one piece
rod. It sure would be fun to cast such a rod. I wouldn't trust myself
to get it back quick enough, but who made the rod? Maybe I can find
one locally to try.

If you're in Washington or Oregon, maybe I could drop in to try it?

Thanks,

Chas
